Chaos at Red Port
Red Port , located on the Red Line in the New World , serves as the connecting town between the Marine G1 Branch and the Holy Land Mary Geoise. It's the mandatory stop for anyone crossing the Red Line legally , where they must use the specialized Bubble Car transport.
This unique geographical advantage, combined with the security provided by its proximity to the Marine G1 Branch , has made Red Port one of the most flourishing ports in the entire sea. The population here is enormous , consisting not only of constant merchant traffic but also many nobles who have settled here. This is because the location is the closest they can get to their sacred Holy Land Mary Geoise.
To broadcast the war, the Marines had set up the highest number of broadcast screens here—five in total. Despite the five screens, the crowds following the war still completely surrounded each area, making it impossible to penetrate.
As the live battlefield on the other side of the Red Line was shown , everyone watching had looks of terror and pale faces. Occasional gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd. As nobles, they had never before witnessed such terrifying, natural disaster-like power. Although the Marines were performing exceptionally well , Whitebeard's world-shaking strength was simply too overwhelming for everyone to comprehend.
Fortunately, with the intervention of the Seven Warlords of the Sea (Shichibukai) and the fall of the enormous giant, Oars Jr. , the tide of the war seemed to turn in the Marines' favor.
"That's great!" "The Marines are going to win!!!" "We're saved!!!"
As wealthy merchants and nobles, their loyalties would never lie with the pirates.
But just then, a group of unwelcome guests descended violently from the sky. When these individuals landed, and everyone recognized their faces through the Den Den Mushi broadcast , the nobles instantly turned pale.
"Crocodile... Knight of the Sea Jinbe... Revolutionary Army Commander Ivankov... and so many prisoners who escaped from Impel Down..."
Compared to these three powerful, well-known figures, Luffy and Yamato—who did not yet have a bounty—didn't even register as worthy of notice. The balance of victory in the war seemed to suddenly swing away from the Marines and toward the side of the pirates.
And just as this realization dawned on them, a massive shadow suddenly covered everyone's heads. At first, no one paid attention, as they were all glued to the screen in front of them. That is, until someone subconsciously looked up at the sky and let out a frantic, terrified scream...
Marineford: A Shocking Entrance
At Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, the battlefield was engulfed in fire and destruction.
"Boom..."
A warship plummeted from the sky, crashing hard into the ice. Both the Marines and the pirates, as well as the Shichibukai, were startled. They all wore varying expressions as they saw the newly arrived group.
"Damn it, what is happening? How did they appear here? What went wrong at Impel Down?" Sengoku roared furiously. Unfortunately, no one could answer his question at that moment.
"Ace, we're here to save you!!!"
Having successfully landed, Yamato and Luffy, who had just escaped from Impel Down, were utterly impatient. Looking at Ace on the distant execution platform, they rushed across the icy ground amidst the continuous cannon fire. No Marine soldier could stop the determined duo.
"This is going to be troublesome," sighed Aokiji, who was posted below the execution platform as the final line of defense. He had planned to slack off, but rubbed his forehead helplessly.
Kizaru had an interested expression on his face.
As for Sakazuki, he frowned tightly, with magma already flowing from his fists.
Seeing the three powerful Admirals, Yamato, who was rushing forward, immediately grabbed Luffy. "Luffy-kun, you go save Ace! I'll hold back these three guys!"
With that, she threw Luffy forward.
Luffy, who knew exactly how powerful these three were, didn't hesitate for a second. Flying through the air, he activated his Devil Fruit ability and stretched out both hands toward the execution platform.
Kizaru's eyes narrowed at the sight. "Straw Hat, I can't let you rescue Ace!"
Golden light instantly enveloped his body as he spoke, and he flew into the air toward Luffy.
Yamato immediately swung her club to intercept him. "Stay here!!!"
"Thunder Bagua!"
Unfortunately, Kizaru was unbothered, as another figure appeared, blocking Yamato with an arm emanating a chilling aura and Haki.
"Hey, Kaido's daughter, there's a limit to how much mischief you can cause!"
"Boom!!!"
Kizaru and Aokiji acted in unison, using their serious attacks: one delivered a Light Speed Kick and the other an Ice Glove, sending both Luffy and Yamato flying backward like cannonballs.
Fortunately, Jinbe and Ivankov rushed forward at that critical moment. Jinbe caught Yamato, and Ivankov caught Luffy. Ivankov had already learned about Luffy's background during the journey, making him especially concerned for the young pirate.
Meanwhile, Crocodile had already reached Whitebeard's rear. "Whitebeard, I'm taking your head!!!"
"Boom!!!"
Marco instantly appeared and kicked Crocodile away from the Emperor.
This sudden series of events made the battlefield unpredictable once again. Everyone initially assumed that this newly arrived group of pirates was there to help Whitebeard, but now Crocodile was actively attacking him.
"Crocodile, what are you doing to Whitebeard-ossan?" roared Yamato.
"Stupid Crocodile!!!" shouted Luffy in anger.
After being kicked away and landing hard on the ground, Crocodile stated with his usual cold expression, "Hey, Kaido's daughter, and Straw Hat, get this straight: our cooperation ended the moment we escaped to this point!"
Yamato, furious, immediately sprang up from Jinbe's arms, ready to confront Crocodile.
But at that moment, the pirates and Marines surrounding them all looked terrified.
"Hey, hey, did you hear that just now?" "Did I mishear that?" "This woman is actually Kaido's daughter." "You must be kidding!" "Is Kaido also helping Whitebeard?!"
Yamato, who was preparing to rush over and beat Crocodile, stopped in her tracks when she heard the whispers. She looked around and clearly saw the pirates' morale suddenly surge, while the Marines' fighting spirit was instantly suppressed.
But this was only the beginning of the shock, because the next statement came from Sakazuki and stunned everyone even further.
"Kaido's daughter and Revolutionary Dragon's son, both must be eliminated..."
On the execution platform, Sengoku, the Fleet Admiral, watched the chaos with an extremely grim expression. Knowing the situation couldn't continue like this, he grabbed a Den Den Mushi.
"Don't panic," he commanded. "So what if it's Kaido's daughter? So what if it's Revolutionary Dragon's son? As Marines, these dangerous bloodlines must be completely eradicated. Sakazuki, Kuzan, Borsalino—they are your responsibility."
Receiving the direct order, the Three Admirals knew they had no choice but to get serious.
